Percent to PPM Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the PPM (Parts Per Million) from Percent is:

\[ \text{PPM} = P \times 10,000 \]

Where:

\( P \) is the Percentage (%)
\( \text{PPM} \) is the Parts Per Million

What is PPM?

PPM, or Parts Per Million, is a unit of concentration that describes the amount of one substance in a million parts of another. It is commonly used in chemistry, environmental science, and engineering to quantify small concentrations of substances in a solution, gas, or other medium.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Percentage (P): 0.5 %

Using the formula to calculate the PPM:

\[ \text{PPM} = 0.5 \times 10,000 = 5,000 \text{ PPM} \]

This means that a 0.5% concentration corresponds to 5,000 PPM.
